Happy Sunday DDS Families,  

Last Monday the whole school gathered for an assembly and headed outside for the Terry Fox Run.  Students set goals to push themselves and recorded how many laps they could complete in the allotted time. We had some students complete 13 laps of the course. Wow! Thanks to your generosity, we surpassed our fundraising goal of $1500 and have now raised $2580! Another wow! Many of us have been touched by cancer in some way, and your generosity touches our hearts and fills us with hope for our future. Thank you! 

Have a great week ahead!
